by Park Record staff | September 3, 2026
The Park City | Summit County Green Business Program has named Abode Luxury Rentals the 2026 Green Business of the Year, recognizing the company for its commitment to improving and expanding sustainable practices across its operations and helping guests make more sustainable choices during their stay.
The award was presented on Thursday at the Park City Chamber & Visitors Bureau’s 2026 Annual Meeting, which was the first time it was presented as part of the event. Abode is the first property management and vacation rental company to receive the award and the first local business honored under the Green Business Program’s revamped certification model.
Abode rejoined the Green Business Program in 2025 and has already achieved Silver certification. The company implemented numerous sustainable practices, focusing particularly on waste reduction. This includes:
- Piloting refillable toiletries to decrease single-use items
- Installing onsite storage boxes to reduce trips and vehicle miles associated with supply replenishment (based on an employee's idea)
- Recycling mattresses through Spring Back Utah
- Collecting food waste at their office
- Redirecting donation-ready food to local nonprofits and food pantries by raising awareness within the nightly rental industry and training staff
- Reevaluating daily purchases, switching to non-toxic cleaning products and replacing large plastic laundry detergent bottles with recyclable boxes of detergent sheets
Visitors to Abode properties receive practical information about public transit, active transportation options, water and energy conservation, and waste reduction methods during their stay. The company also communicates sustainability efforts regularly to property owners.
